Everyone has experienced some level of work-related stress. Dubbed the “21st century equivalent of the Black Death, stress is the top cause of workplace sickness. While some workplace pressures can be stimulating and motivating, when they become stressful, it means you are struggling to cope. The tension and anxiety resulting from stress plays out on your health and well-being. Its negative impact transcends the office to include other areas of your life – your relationship with your partner, family, friends and even your finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Work Making You Sick? <\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

13 Work-Stress Archetypes: Which One Is You?<\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Archetype<\/td>Profile<\/td><\/tr>
1.  Underdog Underling<\/td>You’re busy from the time you get to work until the time you leave, but you have little freedom while you’re there. You don’t have much say over how you do your job or the types of projects you work on, and you’re always on someone else’s schedule.<\/td><\/tr>
2.  Frustrated Prolific<\/td>You work   your tail off, but you feel you don\u2019t receive enough credit\u2014or compensation.  With lots of sweat (and maybe a few tears), you\u2019ve made your bosses look good. Still, you haven\u2019t received a raise, a promotion, or sufficient   recognition.<\/td><\/tr>
3.  Deserted Outlier<\/td>You feel like you\u2019re all alone, and not in a good way. If you require help or   guidance, your boss won\u2019t give it to you, and when you need to vent, you don\u2019t have a trusted ally to turn to.<\/td><\/tr>
4.  Doormat With A Smile<\/td>You deal with demanding and verbally abusive customers, but through it all you\u2019re expected\u2014no, required\u2014to swallow your resentment and maintain a facade of professionalism, calm, and courtesy<\/td><\/tr>
5.  Technology Incarcerate<\/td>Thanks to the mobile phones, smartphones, and laptop your company so generously provided, your boss can now reach you 24\/7. You’re constantly (if virtually) connected to the office, and your work and personal life are   indistinguishable.<\/td><\/tr>
6.  On the Brink<\/td>You\u2019re terminally exhausted, both physically and emotionally, to the point where it becomes difficult to function. You feel as if you\u2019re on the verge of a   breakdown.<\/td><\/tr>
7.  Punching Bag<\/td>Your boss insults you, gives you impossible deadlines, assigns you busywork just   because she can, and dresses you down in front of your colleagues. Or you\u2019ve   seen her do those things to others\u2014and you\u2019re worried that you\u2019re next.<\/td><\/tr>
8.  Hell In A Hand Basket<\/td>Work just isn\u2019t fair. Your boss plays favorites, management decisions are mystifying   and arbitrary, and employees are treated like children.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Archetype<\/td>Profile<\/td><\/tr>
9.  Globe Trotter<\/td>You spend at least half your time on the road or in the air making your way to your   next meeting. Work is your life and you find yourself waking up in the middle   of the night not remembering which city you\u2019re in.<\/td><\/tr>
10.  Undercover Covert<\/td>You\u2019ve chosen to keep quiet about something that you believe if shared with   co-workers, your boss or management might jeopardize your job or that   promotion you\u2019ve been eying for some time now. You struggle to remain   undercover. At times you feel torn between who you really are and who you   pretend to be.<\/td><\/tr>
11.  Means to An End<\/td>You see your job as a placeholder to what it is you really want to do. You know THIS job isn\u2019t in alignment with your goals, talents and what truly fulfills you.   You are merely biding your time while able to pay your bills.<\/td><\/tr>
12.  Tension Between Two Priorities<\/td>You are torn between your career and another priority in your life, e.g., marriage,  motherhood, caring for a sick parent, earning a degree. Trying to give both   100% of your energy, you never seem to find the right balance. You carry   feelings of guilt when one of the two gets more focus than the other. The   success or victory of one implies you\u2019ve forsaken the other, meaning there\u2019s   never anything to celebrate.<\/td><\/tr>
13.  Waiting For The Other Shoe to Drop<\/td>It\u2019s not a matter of if you will lose your job, but when will you lose your job. Today\u2019s uncertain and highly competitive job market means you are always on your guard, waiting for something bad to go down. Whether it\u2019s layoffs, no raises  or increased workloads, you know this is the new normal and somehow you need  to be able to adjust accordingly.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
